Usage in "Scar" on Jo-Jo's Viper

The sequence where Jo-Jo comes out of his Viper's cockpit to vomit, following his first engagement, shows that the Viper Mk. II features Joker's nameplate versus the one made for him.

While the weathering on this doesn't seem to align, it is likely seen elsewhere on, and further investigation would be needed.
